Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Rifle/Cartridge/Bullet for leopard?

Let me say I've been a fan and have used TSX exclusively since they came out back in the '00s (except for a Dall which I used a GS custom).

The problem some people have is the concern they won't open up and pencil through. I recovered 3 TSX I used for lion bait on eland, zebra and buffalo. My PH and I were both disappointed in the lack of the petals opening up. They didn't pencil through, but also didn't really open up. He suggested we ditch the 375 in favor of my 300 win, which we knew would open up on the lion.

We showed the bullets to other PHs, all of whom said "A Frames," which seem to be a favorite amongst every PH I've spoken with (and a bear outfitter on Kodiak). They were not disparaging the TSX & rather liked them more than most others, but they all made it known they prefer A frames.

I still use them in my 300/270 Win, but have replaced them with A frames in my 375 H&H and 500 nitro.
